Bozo didn`t bother to read the news article:
"When the project first went live in July, the Queensland government
spruiked the 50MW/100MWH battery as being able to power 4,000 homes."
This facility was, indeed, BRAND NEW - not sure what "spruiked"
should have been, but probably was "touted".
The owner of the facility called it a "minor incident" while at
the same time advising residents to "stay indoors and keep respiratory
medication close by". That doesn`t sound like a "minor" incident to me.
